Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center. UPDATED 2017 May 26 1230 UTC .24 hr Summary... Solar
activity remained very low. Region 2659 (N13W38) grew in areal coverage during the period but was inactive. It remained the only spotted numbered
region on the disk. Solar x-ray flux backgrounds increased slightly over the period as well. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed during the summary
period. .Forecast... Solar activity is expected to be very low, with a chance for C-class flares, throughout the forecast period (26-28
May).

Rats, we got clouds and rain coming tonight, what a bummer. When we get high solar activity, our antenna signal from close gets all messed up, but we
got ten extra channels from all over the country during one storm and we got to watch some stations we normally don't get with our antenna. I will
have to try rescanning. We have been losing stations this year from lightning strikes and wind damage to the towers and equipment. It sucks, one
station was out for two weeks while parts were ordered and the last one, two weeks ago was out for a week while they got in a new transmitter part.

Not sure if it's related to a solar storm but where I am in England right now and for the past hour theres fast intense lightning turning the night
into almost day yet no rain or thunder, it's deadly silent out :/

Never seen lightning like it in my life, even after 2 am theres people outside watching.

That is mighty interesting, since our local utility company is shutting down everything including online services between May 26-28 for "complicated
and expensive upgrades to the electric services for the continued safety and well being of our customers". Creepiest message I've ever heard from
them. Nothing will be open except for emergency technicians. Things that make you go hmm....

Edit to add: two weeks ago, they came out with about a dozen trucks and put up solar led street lights all over our neighborhood.
